CarRecallWatch- Component
- EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BACK UP LIGHTS; STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- Problem
- Orange EV is recalling certain 2023-2024 e-TRIEVER and 2018-2023 T-Series trucks built with beavertail frames. The end of the beavertail frame may obstruct the center of the reverse lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- Obstructed reverse lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to pedestrians or other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Owners are advised to limit on-road use while operating without a trailer until the remedy is completed. Orange EV will replace and relocate the reverse lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 15, 2025. Owners may contact Orange EV customer service at 1-866-688-5223.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
The frame at the rear of these trucks may block the center of the reverse lights. Because the lights are partly obstructed, the vehicle does not meet federal lighting requirements, and other drivers and pedestrians may have less warning when the truck is backing up, which can increase the risk of a crash.
Until the repair is done, owners are advised to limit on-road use when operating the truck without a trailer. Orange EV will replace and relocate the reverse lights at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed August 15, 2025.
To confirm whether your vehicle is affected, check your VIN for open recalls and contact Orange EV customer service at 1-866-688-5223 to schedule the free repair.
